My uncle has high cholesterol level based on the results of his blood chem. His friend from Saudi gave him dates as a gift but he is hesitant to eat them as he is not sure if it’s good for his health.
Fiber in general can help reduce cholesterol. Fruits and veggies are generally high in fiber, so dates should be fine for helping with the cholesterol level. If he’s diabetic he should probably be concerned with the sugar content of the dates.
